JACK & THE BEANSTALK
A Giant Dinner-Panto Adventure
Wed 26 & Thurs 27 Nov, 12pm & 7pm
The Guthrie Pavilion
Get ready for a beanstalk bonanza like you’ve never seen before, with just two actors , a host of hilarious characters and one very big adventure sprouting up between the dinner tables! This is, we believe, is the FIRST EVER Castle- Panto! And takes place indoors, in the Guthrie Pavilion Restaurant over a delicious festive dinner.
Join Jack and a very overworked Dame Trott as they milk every laugh, climb every stalk, and scramble to outwit the terrifying Giant Blunderbore – all in time for dessert. It’s guaranteed to be Fee-fi-fo-FUN!
Expect:
🥔 Mash-ups of traditional panto and slapstick
🐄 A cow with commitment issues
🎤 Quick changes, cheesy jokes, and songs you’ll be humming into dessert
🍽️ All served with a side of comedy, plenty of audience giggles, and a pinch of magic
It’s classic panto mayhem with a minimalist twist – packed with heart, foolishness and more than enough sparkle to keep the gravy glistening.
🎟️ Book your table now! It’s the Christmas experience you’ve BEAN waiting for!

This is a Dinner-Panto (who knew there was such a thing!). The performance takes place (indoors) in the Guthrie Pavilion Restaurant, where you enjoy the performance from your seat at your table. This is an immersive performance with ‘action’ taking place all over the room (there is no traditional stage) – including maybe at your table!
